Depop API endpoint

Depop categories API

Returns Depop's full department, category, and subcategory taxonomy -- every value usable with /depop/search's and /depop/shop/{username}'s category/subcategory filters. Tries a live refresh from Depop's own category-filter API first and falls back to a static snapshot on any failure, so this never errors.

How this endpoint behaves

Requires the x-api-key header. No query or path parameters.

Notable response behavior:

departments has exactly 4 entries: womenswear (gender female), menswear (gender male), kidswear (is_kids: true, no gender), and everything-else (no gender, not kids-scoped — items outside clothing, e.g. beauty, home, art).
Each department's categories[].slug is the value to pass as /depop/search's or /depop/shop/{username}'s category query parameter. Most category slugs are shared across departments (e.g. tops exists under both womenswear and menswear) — pair a category slug with the matching department's gender/is_kids when you also want to scope by department.
Each category's subcategories[].slug is the value to pass as subcategory (comma-separated for multiple), scoped to that category — a subcategory slug from one category is not guaranteed valid under a different category.
This data changes rarely. When the live refresh succeeds, a newly added category or subcategory shows up immediately; when it fails (upstream down, blocked, or unexpected shape), the response falls back to a static snapshot that lags until this package is re-synced.
